Privacy

Last updated October 21, 2026

Field & Porch is run by Peak Beak LLC, 129 E Main Street Barnesville OH 43713. This page explains what we collect when you use fieldandporch.com or the Field & Porch app, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. Questions or requests: hello@fieldandporch.com.

What we collect

Account info: your name, email and password (stored only as a secure hash by our login provider), and, if you add them, your phone and address.
Orders and activity: what you order and from whom, pickup or delivery details, ratings, preset messages, reports, and the stands you follow.
Seller info: stand name, location, products, prices, photos, pickup times, sales and tax records. Stripe holds bank, identity and tax ID details, not us.
Payments: handled by Stripe. We never see or store full card numbers; we keep the card brand and last four digits so you know which card is saved.
Location: only when you tap “Near me”, and only to show stands nearby. We don’t store it unless you save an address.
Technical info: your IP address and browser details reach our servers with every request. We use them to keep the site running and to stop abuse (for example, limiting repeated sign-in attempts). We count how many times each stand’s page is viewed, without recording who viewed it.

How we use it

To run the marketplace: accounts, orders, payments, pickup and delivery, ratings and support.
To send messages you need (order updates, receipts, password resets) and, if you choose, updates like what’s fresh nearby.
To keep people safe and the site honest: preventing fraud and abuse, enforcing our Terms, and meeting legal and tax duties.
To improve Field & Porch and measure whether our ads work.

Who we share it with

The other side of an order: a stand you order from sees your name, reliability score and, for delivery, your address. After a stand confirms your order, you see its pickup address.
Companies that run parts of the service for us, only for that purpose: Stripe (payments and payouts), Supabase (our database, sign-in and photo storage), Resend (email), NameHero (web hosting), and the US Census Bureau and OpenStreetMap (turning an address into a map location; we send the address, not who it belongs to).
When the law requires it, or to protect someone’s safety, our rights, or to prevent fraud.
If the business changes hands, your information would go with it under this policy.

We don’t sell your personal information.

Ads and the Meta pixel

We advertise on Facebook and Instagram, and use Meta’s pixel to see whether those ads work. On our public pages (like the map and stand pages) it tells Meta that a page was viewed, and it notes when someone signs up or opens a stand. It doesn’t send your name, email, orders or anything from your account, seller dashboard, basket or checkout. Meta may use cookies to connect these visits to your Facebook or Instagram account under its own privacy policy.

Turn the Meta pixel off in this browser. We also leave it off automatically if your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal.

Cookies and storage on your device

Sign-in cookies keep you logged in. They’re needed for the site to work.
Your basket is saved on your device until you check out.
A cookie remembers which ad or link brought you here, for 30 days, so we know which ads work.
Meta’s cookies, from the pixel described above, unless you turn it off.

How long we keep it

Account info: until you delete your account.
Order, payment and tax records: as long as sellers and we need them for taxes, refunds and payment disputes, generally up to 7 years. After you delete your account they stay without your name, email, phone or address.
Backups: copies of the database are kept for 30 days, then deleted.
Security records like sign-in attempt counts: a few days.

Security

Everything travels over encrypted connections, passwords are stored only as secure hashes, and card details stay with Stripe. Access to our systems is limited to the people who run Field & Porch. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your information, we’ll tell you as the law requires.

Your choices

You can edit your account info anytime. From your account page you can download a copy of your data or delete your account. When you delete it, we erase your name, email, phone and address. Past orders stay on the other person’s records as “Former member” for their taxes and payment disputes. You can turn off optional emails from the link in any of them. For anything else, email hello@fieldandporch.com and we’ll answer within 30 days.

Children

Field & Porch is for adults 18 and older. It isn’t meant for children, and we don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If we learn we have, we delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll update the date above and tell account holders by email or on the site before the change takes effect.
